The information on the iPad includes first and last names, dates of birth, medical record numbers and dates and location of service.

Officials discovered on May 20 that the iPad was taken from a COVID testing site at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, located at 4867 Sunset Blvd., said the company's Senior Media Relations Specialist Terry Kanakri.

Kanakri said Kaiser Permanente was able to remotely erase all of the data from the iPad, and there is no evidence to suggest that “identity theft or misuse of protected health information” occurred due to the theft. “The risks of fraudulent activity is limited by the fact that no Social Security numbers or financial information was included in the data on the iPad,'' Kanakri said."Kaiser Permanente takes this incident seriously, and all potentially affected individuals are being contacted by mail."
